Could you please introduce yourself?

No answer yet

What music styles do you write / compose / produce in?

Folk/pop.

What do you hope to achieve by joining this group?

By joining Songwriters Cafe Toronto, I hope to immerse myself more fully in music creation and performance, by attending events where I'll have an opportunity to connect with other songwriters and musicians. I am particularly interested in roundtables and open mics, as I prefer to connect, mostly, with small groups in somewhat intimate settings.
Ultimately and literally, what I hope to achieve by joining Songwriters Cafe Toronto is a greater sense of ease with respect to sharing my voice and my songs at large in the world; to desensitize myself, as it were, to the practice of performing (and generally sharing, otherwise) my music. Not entirely of course, but to a degree where it is more bearable and hence more likely. ;)

How did you hear about this group?

Google found it for me, when I typed "Toronto songwriters" into the search bar. :)

Introduction

:) I find this part quite awkward.
Okay! So, hello faceless and as-yet unknown members of Songwriters Cafe Toronto! My name is Blue (aka Kim Anderson). I am a Celtic and Ojibway folk/pop singer/songwriter in Toronto.
That wasn't so bad. :)

We're a group of songwriters, composers and producers who share and learn from one another, develop our work and sometimes even collaborate as part of the writing process. It's FREE to join our group!

Our members include songwriters of all music types and all levels of experience.

Our main goal is to create a safe place to nurture and grow our songwriting skills.

This includes helping each other through polite, respectful and effective feedback on each other's music, ideas and contributions.

Our meetups include songwriters' roundtables where we can submit songs for evaluation, as well as sessions and workshops focusing on recording, vocal development, "beat" making, licensing, radio promotion/tracking, CD duplication, digital music sales and songwriters' showcases.

We also keep you informed of news and events outside of our group that we think are relevant and helpful for songwriters.

We openly encourage members to share their resources and knowledge with other group members to strengthen Toronto's songwriting community.

If you have an idea for a meetup, please feel free to share it because new ideas are always welcome.
